Vahan Nisanian has so far won $23,000 in cash and prizes. Frank Jones is returning from our last show because our champion at the time walked out.
Who wants to challenge these two?

OK, Mandoli. I'm going to need you to PM me your first + last name, your hometown (or where you live now), your occupation, and anything interesting I should know.

Burton: (VO) Previously on $ale of the Century....Now, during the break, we've had a rather shocking development. Nicholas Aczel has departed and forfeited his winnings. That means, as per the rules in his contract when he first became a contestant, we're going to be splitting his winnings in cash to charities. [...] We'll add up Nicholas' now non-existent winnings at the end of the Century Round. Burton: I also talked to Standards and Practices. Steve is going to play the Century Round with our players, using Nick’s score at the time he left. If Steve wins, Grundy will donate $50,000 extra to the Jimmy Fund, and second place will face the Winners' Board. Either way, the other players are entitled to return on the next program * Ahem * And also Steve has no prior knowledge as to any questions at this point.Greg: Excellent compromise. Steve, to borrow your catch phrase on Price, "COME ON DOWN!!!" (Steve tags off with Burton and takes Nick's desk) 10. In Arthurian myth, what son of Lancelot led the quest that achieved the Holy Grail? (buzzcode: 67) *Vahan buzzes in (62)*Vahan? Vahan: GalahadCorrect. (ding) Frank: $40 Vahan: $95 Steve: $45
[0]
(time's up)Time's up, and Vahan is the new champion! [WIN CUE]
(At Jellyrolls Piano Bar, Greg stands at a microphone while Captain Hook plays "And So It Goes" on the piano. Princess Shuri listens to this carefully while seated at a table.) ["And So It Goes" (TV Size) Written by Billy Joel Performed by Greg Palmer] Greg: In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense
And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you may have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows

(drumroll, shot of Vahan) Steve Anderson: (VO) So far, Vahan Nisanian has won cash and prizes totaling...(NBC "yeah whoos", audience cheers) [OPENING THEME]This week, players could win...a Mickey Mouse statue...$20,000 in Walt Disney Stock....or a trip around the world![Camera stop-zooms in towards the shopping area, stops at a shot of the car]And continue a journey towards a fortune of cash and prizes....Including....this breathtaking Ferrari!And a cash jackpot of $1,600,000! All on America's Premier Quiz.....And now, from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida...here is the star of our show, GREG PALMER!!!! (wild cheers and applause as the doors open and I run to my lectern)Greg: Thank you, Steve. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Whoo! (shot of audience doing "the wave" and chanting "Let's Go Brandon") You know, this feels like a sporting event here. I mean, we've got people doing The Wave, chanting "Let's Go Brandon". And yes, Let’s Go Brandon. I LOVE FLORIDA AUDIENCES! (audience cheers) Oh, heh heh heh. Welcome to $ale of the Century, we're wrapping up our first week at EPCOT. Next Monday starts our Tournament of Champions, someone's going to win $1,000,000 in cash, a trip around the world, and if the supply chain situation gets fixed, a brand-new car. If it doesn't get fixed, we may have to start giving away shipping containers. (audience chuckles) Here's our returning champion, from Glendale, California, but born in Yerevan, Armenia. Vahan Nisanian! (audience cheers) Now, as you recall, Vahan won $20,000 to spend at shopdisney.com and The Disney Store. Now that there's a supply chain issue, what are you going to do with that $20,000 now?

Well, I was going to say that's $20,000 to spend at shopdisney.com.... but in the tradition of Jim Perry… you know our shopping sprees aren’t explicitly “shopping sprees”. I'm going to make an executive decision. I'm going to give you $20,000 in cash. (audience cheers) The reason why is... well, we don't know when the supply chains are going to be back in full swing, due to the current nature of things… *muffled under breath* Thanks, Empty Shelves Joe *end muffled speech*
——and offer you everything you might want in that regard. In addition, as Executive Producer, I had a conference with Jen Mullin and others on staff and we are going to make a decision that I want to go to other Fremantle-produced shows, if possible. If a prize is unavailable or unable to be delivered 90 days after broadcast --- which is standard policy on most game shows --- a cash option for the full amount of the prize will be made available.. (audience cheers)
Now, if the President of the United States has an issue with how we fix things around here… Please do like another famed emcee of the late 90s did. Come on our show as *hand to heart* a common contestant.
(audience cheers loudly and gives Greg a standing ovation)
Heckler in the Audience: Bring back “Trump Card”!
Greg: Not our show, buddy. Go talk to Warner Bros. about that one. Now now, everyone sit down. Sit down, please. I’d like to keep our sponsors happy.
Now, let's meet our other returning player. With $8,040 all in cash, here is Frank Jones! (audience cheers) So, Frank, what were your thoughts after the shocking announcement that Nicholas had conceded?

I wouldn't consider $8,000 an embarrassment. An embarrassment of riches, maybe, but nothing to be ashamed of. You might even make the tournament. As a matter of fact, if you count the current $uper $ale title holder and last year's winner, we have seven people who qualify. We might even have eight if our challenger buys something tonight. Here to introduce that lady of destiny is our own lady of destiny, Stacey Wren! (Stacey comes out to cheers and applause, she joins Greg at his lectern) Stacey: Hi there.Greg: Stacey, always a pleasure to see you. Stacey: Oh, Greg, I just got an e-mail from my family back in Melbourne. Did you know they've been locked down there, literally?Greg: No, I did not. Stacey: Oh, it's terrible. But, from Friday, the 22nd of October, Melbourne’s lockdown will end after the state reaches a full vaccination rate of 70%. (audience cheers) Not only that, but 10 people, including dependents, can visit a home each day. 15 people can gather outdoors; and pubs, clubs and entertainment venues can open to 20 fully vaccinated people indoors and 50 fully vaccinated people outdoors.Greg: You should invite the family to come down to Florida. Stacey: I think I will. It's so nice being out here, even with a state of emergency.Greg: Indeed it is. (Greg notices something) Stace, is that a large bandage I see? Stacey: Oh yes, I've given blood. Blood donations are in need now more than ever.Greg: Stacey is right. Please give blood to the American Red Cross. They need it desperately. Now, who is our sole challenger tonight? (As Stacey introduces the contestant, Kelly and Mitch escort her to her seat)Stacey: Well, our only new player tonight has two jobs, one of which is a receptionist at a local medical facility. She enjoys watching hockey and appeared on camera several times on Deal or No Deal. From Bolton, Connecticut; Amanda Bassett.(audience cheers) Greg: Well, the first female contestant we've had this season. Now, we'll have to be on our best behavior, won't we? (to the audience) OK guys, clean up your language. (to Amanda) Hello, Amanda. So, I understand you like hockey. I've been to a Carolina Hurricanes game before and enjoyed myself. Of course, I had earbuds on so I could hear the radio play by play. What are your favorite teams?

My number one favorite team is the Boston Bruins. I've been to a few home and away games for them over the years. I'll take pictures of the game and nearly drain the battery on my camera.

Now, that's what we call a fan. Amanda, I'm going to be honest with you here.... and when am I not honest? This is what our Tournament roster looks like. Evan Hatfield - Last Year's TOC Winner Marc Enyedy - Current $uper $ale Champion Bob Verini - $1,758,977 James Greek - $419,232 Kyle Simmons - $299,622 Bob Loblaw - $32,064 Vahan Nisanian - $23,000 Frank Jones - $15,539
(off-camera chatter) Oh, I just got something from our producer, Steve. It seems that two game shows in the past, including the notable $100,000 Pyramid allowed current champions to compete in their tournaments, so, Vahan, you are in. Amanda, if you buy something or earn something off the Fame Game board, you'll qualify as well. So, with that being said, let's play. Stacey? Stacey: Good luck, everyone, $20 to start.(the board initializes) Amanda: $20 Frank: $20 Vahan: $20
(Stacey exits) Greg: Thank you, Stace. Round 1, Friday, Amanda just needs to win or buy something in order to qualify. Frank and Vahan want to stop her if at all possible. Good luck, all. Let's go. 1. Earlier in the show, the audience was chanting "Let's Go Brandon!" What is the last name of that NASCAR winner they were referring to? 2. Starting with "N", which Egyptian queen was married to pharaoh Akhenaten? 3. What bird gets its pink color from the algae and shrimp it eats? 4. How many tiles does a player play to score a bingo in Scrabble? 5. Chuck Woolery, who hosted Scrabble on NBC, was also the first host of what classic game show?(buzzcodes (from 1-100) and answers via PM, please)

2. Starting with "N", which Egyptian queen was married to pharaoh Akhenaten? (buzzcode: 13) *Amanda buzzes in (44)*Amanda? Amanda: Nefertiti? I don't know, that sounds right. I don't even know if she's Egyptian.Well, you're right. (ding) Amanda: $25 Frank: $20 Vahan: $25
3. What bird gets its pink color from the algae and shrimp it eats? (buzzcode: 54) *Vahan buzzes in (58)*Vahan? Vahan: FlamingosStrange but true. Up to $30. (ding) Amanda: $25 Frank: $20 Vahan: $30

Although, we're going to have to shout it louder for the people in the back... and at Sony, too. Steve? (Steve activates the echo effects on his microphone and cranks up the volume) Steve: ( with echo effects added) CHUCK WOOLERY WAS THE ORIGINAL HOST OF WHEEL OF FORTUNE! NOT PAT SAJAK![INSTANT BARGAIN]Greg: OK then. Thank you very much. Instant Bargain time, player in the lead can buy bargain merchandise. In this case, it's a tie between Vahan and Amanda. Only one of you can buy this. Buzz in when you hear the low $ale of the Century price, and this will be yours. Or the cash value thereof in case we can't get it to you 90 days after broadcast. Stacey?

(the models and Stacey do some Saturday Night Live-esque things)Steve: (VO) It's the high life of NEW YORK CITY! You and a guest will spend 5 nights at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in the heart of New York City. Just minutes from Times Square, you will be at the heart of everything NYC has to offer. The Four Points Sheraton Hotel.
We are also including $2,400 in cash for transportation service, and tickets to see Saturday Night Live at the renowned Rainbow Room. Normally priced at...
It's yours on $ale for only...
(audience cheers as I join them up on stage) Greg: Well, it looks like we have our own Saturday Night Live here. But wait, there's someone missing. I wonder who it could be. (And in walks that missing person now, it's Kenan Thompson!) (audience cheers loudly as he joins me) Greg: It's Kenan Thompson! The better half of Kenan and Kel! Kenan, how are you doing? Kenan: Alright, alright. Doing fine, especially since I just learned my sitcom got picked up for a second season. (audience cheers) Greg: Oh yeah, the one with Don Johnson. Kenan: Aww, come on! Why ya gotta bring up Don Johnson?Greg: Because some people may miss Miami Vice. Kenan: Oh, right. Anyway, it's great to be back at my old stomping grounds at.... (he looks around) Wait a minute, this isn't Nickelodeon!Greg: I see you noticed the giant geometric globe out there. Very good. Very astute of you. Hold on just a second... (I go back to my lectern, pull out a spare pair of Mickey Mouse ears, and put them on Kenan; Kenan reacts) Just keep it up, you're doing great for ratings. Now, we have an interesting situation here. Amanda, if you were to buy this, you would automatically qualify for the Tournament of Champions. If, Amanda, you were not to buy and you ended up not winning anything off the Fame Game board or something like that, we would put your name in a hat along with all the other people who ended up with $500 and consolation prizes, and draw one name from there randomly to determine the 9th spot. So, Vahan, that puts something of an onus on you. (Kenan reacts) So, again, here's what's included. 5 nights at a hotel in New York City, tickets to see Saturday Night Live, and $2,400 in cash for "transportation service". Now, I don't want to just drop numbers here. You both have a $5 lead over Frank. Both of you, make me an offer. I'll accept the best offer.

A part of me wants to make an offer, but I've barely seen SNL and it doesn't really "interest" me. Let him have it. (Kenan reacts to Amanda not being really "interested" in Saturday Night Live) Greg: OK then. Amanda rolling the dice. Vahan, you have a $5 lead.... stand by Amanda, because I'm going to let either one of you have it for..... three bucks! ("buzz in" if you want it, just type *buzz* or something like that)

Nobody wants to buy? Alright, no $ale. I wouldn't want to go to New York, anyway. It's a hellhole. (Kenan reacts) The homicide rate has shot up. People are defecating in the streets. I don't blame you one bit. Kenan: (now incensed) I guess we're not going to see you on Saturday Night Live anymore!Greg: That's right. Maybe you should move to Florida. Kenan Thompson, everyone! (audience cheers, I walk back to my lectern) FONY, ladies and gentlemen. F*** off, New York. Escape while you can. Amanda, please stay in Connecticut. Next set of questions. 1. With what nation did the US sign the Paris Peace Accords in 1973? 2. What sport's lingo uses the term "Mulligan"? 3. Who was given a gift of a hat pin and a copy of "Leaves of Grass" on February 28, 1997?(buzzcodes and answers, please)
